With the country’s gigantic anime and manga industry, it’s no surprise that many people in Japan dream of becoming comic artists.
Judges for the contest’s current iteration have narrowed things down to five finalists, one of which, titled Dragon-Eating Newspaper Reporter, is shown in this tweet from Hayahiro Uki (who’s already a manga artists himself).
Dragon-Eating Newspaper Reporter starts with main character Shina, a regional reporter, covering a story about a winter festival, but while he’s on-site a dragon appears.
Dragon-Eating Newspaper Reporter’s creator’s biggest problem, though, is that he forgot to include his name with his application.
